Special Projects

MISSION CONTINUITY

Mission continuity planning is designed to ensure that the University is prepared to resume operations as efficiently as possible in the event of a crisis (such as a fire, flood, or other cause of interruption in operations). As part of Penn’s Mission Continuity program, Schools, Centers and departments are responsible for developing mission continuity plans and recording them online using special software tailored for Penn, called Shadow-Planner.

GO PENN: GREEN OFFICE INITIATIVE

Offices represent a significant portion of campus energy and material use and waste production. The Green Campus Partnership recognizes the efforts of staff and faculty to green their daily activities by offering four levels of Green Office certification.
